Bruce W Jul 10 Dreadfully slow moving. Nearly as bad as getting your teeth cleaned; --is this thing ever going to be over with? Unwed motherhood yarn, --which was hardly a rare occurrence even then-- but is made out to be a fate worse than becoming a Syrian political prisoner in the late 1940s. Only positive thing I can say is that the video quality is excellent, far superior to most films from 1949. Likely remastered at some point.

Not Wanted definitely does not hold up See more 11/18/2009 While this is probably a movie that was provocative at the time, Not Wanted just comes off as dull today. The production value is poor, the acting is often sub par, and the chase scene at the end is supposed to be exciting, but it is too little and too late. Also, the ending is haphazard, leaving the rest of the story unclear for the few who might manage to be entertained by such a film. See more 11/07/2008 This is better than it should be given how cheesy and corny much of it is. In particular, there are some fabulous stylistic moments such as the child birth scene which almost seems like something out of Eraserhead in the anxiety in projects. See more Read all reviews
